Chapter 143 Amway Douyin
Hongji Plaza!
"Do you want to eat anything?" Su Chen asked the people around him.
Of course, I have to ask a few college students about what delicious food there is around Shanghai University. After all, their opinions are the most authoritative.
“Beef brisket hotpot!”
“Earth Pot Chicken!”
“Linyi fried chicken!”
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, three voices sounded at the same time.
The ones who spoke were Su Qingya, Qin Nan and Zhao Ya. The three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Um~ there shouldn't be a restaurant selling these three things, how about you guys discuss it?" Su Chen felt a little puzzled. Why do girls nowadays love to giggle?
This time, the three of them did not answer but looked at Wang Yue, as if asking for her opinion.
Su Chen's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw this. It seemed that Wang Yue had taken a leading position in both life and work...
It is normal if you think about it carefully. After all, Wang Yue's family is not simple. Whether in terms of knowledge, vision, or brains, they are much better than Su Qingya and others.
It is normal to become the "big sister" of several people.
Wang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Minjian Sichuan Cuisine. We haven't been there for a long time!"
The name of the dish sounds like a fly-in-the-door restaurant on the roadside, but it is not. It is a little-known private Sichuan restaurant near Shanghai University. Of course, this little-known is only to ordinary people.
Su Qingya and her friends had been there twice before with Wang Yue. The cost was not cheap, about one thousand yuan per person. Moreover, this Sichuan restaurant is not open to the public and only accepts members!
"Folk Sichuan cuisine?" Qin Nan and Zhao Ya both showed excitement on their faces. They have missed the Sichuan cuisine there for a long time.
"I agree. I haven't eaten Sichuan cuisine for a long time and I miss it!" Su Qingya echoed.
The Minjian Sichuan Restaurant was not very far away, so the group of six walked directly there. Along the way, Su Qingya kept introducing to Su Chen which snacks in the surrounding food streets were delicious.
"Brother, the food street is only lively at night. Next time I have the chance, I will take you here to eat delicious food!" Su Qingya said seriously.
Su Chen was also amused by her. The universities were on vacation, and many of the shops in the food streets would be closed to prepare for going home for the New Year. Even if they wanted to eat, they would have to wait until next year.
We soon arrived at our destination. The Sichuan restaurant was not located next to the main road like other restaurants, but was located in an alley, so it was quite hidden.
Su Chen looked around the door. The entire Sichuan restaurant seemed to be renovated from an old western-style house. The entire old house was blocked by a three-meter-high wall. Passersby could not see anything going on inside. The privacy was quite well ensured.
The main door is a double-opening mahogany door. You can vaguely see a plaque hanging above the door with four large characters written on it - Folk Sichuan Cuisine!
Wang Yue gently knocked on the ring on the door, making a crisp "bang bang" sound.
The door opened and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came out. When he saw Wang Yue, he bowed and said, "Ms. Wang, welcome!"
Wang Yue glanced at Su Chen, nodded slightly, and walked inside. Su Chen and others followed quickly.
When I walked in, I found that the whole yard was antique, with low bamboo forests on both sides and a bluestone path in the middle, making it look particularly quiet.
"I didn't expect there is such a quiet place in the Magic City." Su Chen couldn't help but sigh. In this bustling city with tall buildings, there is such a unique private restaurant, which can be said to be one of a kind.
When Su Chen walked into the old house, he found that the interior decoration was also very simple, with gray and white colors like an ink painting.
It is similar to Mr. Huang in that there are only two private rooms in the entire Sichuan restaurant, upstairs and downstairs.
Led by the middle-aged man, Su Chen and his group went directly to the second floor.
After everyone sat down, the middle-aged man handed a thick menu to Wang Yue with both hands, "Miss Wang, this is the menu, please take a look!"
"Today's protagonist is Mr. Su~" Wang Yue said, spreading out his right hand and pointing at Su Chen next to him.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. You know, the person who orders food first is basically the person with the most distinguished status in the dinner party. As the "steward" of folk Sichuan cuisine, he naturally knew Wang Yue's identity.
Anyone who can say such words must be more powerful than her.
After coming to his senses, he hurried to Su Chen's side, bent his waist sixty degrees and said, "Mr. Su, please order!"
Su Chen smiled and nodded, taking the menu from the butler's hand. He briefly flipped through it and found that the dishes on this menu were very rich. In addition to the most common Shanghe Gang dishes, there were also dishes from the Xiahe Gang and Xiaohe Gang.
You should know that the entire Sichuan cuisine is divided into three brands, namely the Shanghe cuisine, which is mainly based in Chengdu and Leshan. Its characteristics are diverse dishes and mild taste.
Xiahebang cuisine and Xiaohebang cuisine both make good use of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, which makes many outsiders stay away from them.
Imagine if you were inviting important clients of your company to dinner, and you ordered Sichuan cuisine from Xiahebang and Xiaohebang, and everyone would be sweating and their clothes would be soaked while eating. Even though the food was delicious, it would be embarrassing.
This is why most Sichuan restaurants opened in other places mainly serve Hebei cuisine, mainly to cater to the local audience.
"Can you eat spicy food?" Su Chen asked Wang Yue and others. After all, he didn't know what their taste was like.
"Yeah, yummy!" Qin Nan and Zhao Ya nodded like machines.
Wang Yue also nodded slightly. She had tasted spicy Sichuan cuisine before, namely the dishes from Xiahebang and Xiaohebang. It was a mixture of pain and joy.
My mouth was so numb that I couldn't stand it, but I couldn't stop my hands and kept eating.
"Give me some Mapo Tofu and Fuqi Feipian." Su Chen paused and looked at the housekeeper beside him and asked, "What kind of fish and chicken do you use for the boiled fish and spicy chicken here!"
"We have two kinds of boiled fish, grass carp and black carp, both of which we raise ourselves in mountain spring water. As for the chicken, it is the Gushi chicken, which is known as the "King of Chinese Chicken"!"
Su Chen nodded slightly when he heard this, "Let's use black fish for the boiled fish, it's easier to eat without bones. Let's also have a portion of spicy chicken, spicy rabbit, Kung Pao chicken and fish-flavored pork shreds!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Yue beside him and asked, "Do you guys see if there is anything else you want to order?"
Wang Yue gently waved her hand and said, "I don't need it. Do you want to see what else Qingya and the others want to order?"
Su Qingya and the other two also shook their heads, indicating that it was enough.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen closed the menu and handed it to the butler, "That's all. Also, some freshly squeezed juice!"
"Okay, sir!" The butler took the menu and turned and walked out of the room.
After the butler left, the private room became lively. Su Qingya pulled Qin Nan and others to discuss Hanfu. Wang Yue gave a few suggestions from time to time, while Su Chen and Chen Fei could only listen to their conversation quietly.
As Su Chen listened, he heard the problem. How to promote Hanfu culture has become a big problem. The most popular thing now is Weibo, but they have also posted a lot of works on it, but the feedback is not satisfactory.
This is the same problem that Su Chen encountered when he traveled to Ice City before. What he can do now is to subtly influence the people around him and let more people understand the profound heritage of Hanfu culture.
But the effect is too slow. Not to mention going abroad, I’m afraid I can’t even leave Shanghai University.
"Zhang Yiming said it would be released at the beginning of the year, but I don't know if he has released it yet!" Su Chen took out his mobile phone, opened the app store, and searched for Douyin.
The next second, a black and white music icon appeared in Su Chen's sight. It was the Douyin that Su Chen had been thinking about.
I clicked download without thinking. The software was not very large, only a few hundred megabytes, and it was downloaded and installed in less than three minutes.
Following the system's prompts, he quickly registered an account. What surprised Su Chen was that the Douyin number he registered was actually number 88, which meant that there were only about eighty people who had registered so far.
After Su Chen checked again, he realized that it was not released on Douyin until noon!
"It seems that the publicity is not strong enough. I don't know what Zhang Yiming will do next!"
After a quick browse, I actually saw several people posting videos, but they were all casual shots, most of which were of what they had for lunch. "Brother, what are you looking at?" Su Qingya came up to him without knowing when.
"Watching Douyin!" Su Chen tilted the phone, and the video playing on the screen appeared in Su Qingya's eyes.
"Hey~ Why are there only videos of people sharing meals? They look quite interesting. Is this a new APP?" Su Qingya looked through a few videos and found them quite interesting. It was a new thing for her.
"Well~ it was only released at 12 noon, you can try it next!"
"Mr. Su, what are you talking about when you released it?" Wang Yue also leaned over and asked curiously.
“It’s a short video social app. I suggest you all download it and try it out!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue looked at Su Chen deeply. Although she didn't know what Su Chen did, his background was definitely not simple. When she came out of the Entrepreneurship Center before, she saw Chen Fei take out a car key from his pocket, and she recognized it as a Rolls-Royce at a glance.
There must be something unique about the advice that comes from Su Chen's mouth.
After asking the name of the software, Wang Yue took out his mobile phone and started downloading it.
Upon seeing this, Su Qingya and others also took out their mobile phones, even Chen Fei, who had been silent all the time, was no exception.
Soon the sound of a video was heard in the room. Unfortunately, there are not many people registered now, and there are only about 20 to 30 videos on Douyin.
After Wang Yue finished watching the video, there was a thoughtful gleam in his eyes, as if he was evaluating this APP called Douyin.
After thinking for a while, Wang Yue still couldn't figure out what the benefits of this software were. She bit her lip and said, "Mr. Su, I wonder if you can give me some pointers."
Su Chen smiled when he heard this, pointed at the phone in her hand and asked, "Have mobile phones gradually become a necessity in people's lives? It can be said that it is the thing that stays with us the longest."
Wang Yue nodded without comment. With the popularity of smart phones in recent years, mobile phones have become more and more convenient, whether for shopping or playing games.
“If there is an app that can share some beautiful things around you anytime and anywhere, such as scenery, interesting things, pets, etc., so that more people can see them, wouldn’t it be the best companion to kill time?”
Wang Yue understood it instantly. Isn’t this what Douyin is all about? The few videos he just saw were all shared delicacies. If the number of people using this software increases, the more people share it, the more people will watch it, allowing many people who don’t go out to learn about the scenery and delicacies of various places at home.
Just like a snowball, it gets bigger and bigger. Who knows, in the future, Douyin may become the largest short video social software on the market.
"Mr. Su wants us to promote Hanfu on Douyin!"
Su Chen nodded and then shook his head.
This made Wang Yue dumbfounded. Is this an agreement or a rejection?
"It is possible to promote it, but how do you do it? Take some photos of Hanfu and write some copy about it?"
Wang Yue nodded embarrassedly. This was indeed what she thought just now.
Seeing this, Su Chen did not say that she was short-sighted. After all, she had just come into contact with this software and her thinking had not been fully opened. She was definitely not able to keep up with Su Chen's pace. After all, it was Su Chen who came up with this concept!
"Beauty has always been a source of trouble. Have you ever thought about letting beautiful women with outstanding figures wear Hanfu for display?"
"I understand!" Wang Yue stood up and said excitedly.
This scene stunned Su Qingya and the other two. You know, Wang Yue is usually an icy beauty. She rarely laughs and even speaks.
After being together for so long, they have only seen each other a few times.
"Mr. Su, you have a great vision. This app called Douyin will definitely change people's lives in the future. Maybe the next hot spot will be short videos!"
Su Chen calmly waved his hand, signaling her not to be so excited. "You can try to shoot some short videos of Hanfu first and see what you gain. After all, this software has just been released, and many people still don't know the secrets of it. You are the first to try it out!"
Wang Yue nodded when he heard this, and called Su Qingya and the other two over, and started chatting in front of Su Chen.
After just a few words, the door of the box was pushed open.
Then I saw the butler and a few waiters walking in, carrying fragrant dishes.
Smelling the spicy and delicious aroma, Su Chen couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
When all the dishes were served, Su Chen said, "Ahem~ Let's eat first, and you can go back and study it slowly later."
Before Su Chen could finish his words, all the girls sat back in their seats consciously, holding their chopsticks and looking at Su Chen eagerly.
Looking at everyone's anxious eyes, Su Chen smacked his lips and said, "Why are you looking at me? Just start eating!"
"Mmm~ This boiled fish is delicious!"
“This spicy chicken is so tasty and the meat is tender and chewy!”
For a moment, the whole private room was filled with voices praising the food, and even Wang Yue was no exception, and the chopsticks in his hand never stopped.
Waiting for half an hour for the food and ten minutes for the meal.
This is to describe Su Chen and others at this moment. After eating seven or eight large Sichuan dishes, they were all sweating profusely, with their mouths slurping, and it seemed that their lips were numb.
They asked the butler to bring two bottles of juice, and then everyone's condition improved a lot.
When paying the bill, Su Chen exclaimed, "Wow!" It was exactly three thousand yuan, no more, no less. However, the money was definitely worth it. The taste, ingredients, etc. were really good. It was the best Sichuan cuisine Su Chen had ever eaten.
"Mr. Su, would you like to visit our Entrepreneurship Center?"
Su Chen shook his head slightly, "I won't go!"
After saying that, he looked at Su Qingya and said, "When I'm done with my work these few days, come home with me!"
"Okay, brother!" Su Qingya also knew that Su Chen came to school today just for this matter.
"Then I'll leave first!" He waved his hand and got into the Rolls-Royce parked on the roadside in front of everyone.
When the car merged into the traffic, Qin Nan approached Su Qingya and asked, "Qingya, what does your brother do? He's so rich that he drives a Rolls-Royce when he travels!"
Although everyone has talked about their family situation to a certain extent, no one has asked about the details. Now, a "big brother" appears, and he is the brother of your best friend. Who wouldn't be curious about this situation?
Even Wang Yue cast a curious look.
Su Qingya shrugged and said, "To be honest, I don't know what my brother does, I just know that he is very rich!"
After hearing this, the three of them did not continue to ask questions. As for the stupid words like wanting to be Su Qingya's sister-in-law, no one said it out loud. They all knew that someone like Su Chen was not worthy of them.
"Yueyue, shall we go back and study that Douyin now?"
Wang Yue was silent for a moment, then turned to Su Qingya and asked, "Qingya, can you contact the game studio that was cheated by Director Li?"
After hearing this, Su Qingya and the others were stunned, but they quickly realized that Wang Yue was about to take action against Director Li.
"can!"
"Then contact them and ask other people to see if there are other similar things!"
"Our Director Li has done so many bad things in this position. It's time for him to pay the price!" Wang Yue said coldly, looking in the direction of the Entrepreneurship Center.
